Chapter 233: The Old Things Come Again
Of course, there were naturally many other people in the huge living room, but most of them, Lin Haoxue didn't know, here, Lin Haoxue didn't see the Lord Shenglin Sheng from the temple.
Blink of an eye to look at the main seat, Lin Haoxue's eyes condensed slightly, the first thing she saw was the second seat of the main seat, it was a middle-aged man with a slightly fat body, this middle-aged man from the perspective of appearance, if it was ten years ago, he should still be called handsome, but now, it seems too far-fetched, there is a deep green shadow under his eyes, and his face is even a little swollen. He was dressed very gorgeously, or rather, very fancy, but unfortunately, the body under the fancy clothes was weak, and at a glance, he knew that it was hollowed out by wine. In short, it is difficult for this person to have a good impression, even if he doesn't need to be introduced, Lin Haoxue can guess that this person, Bacheng, is He Guanxiong, the second head of the He family.
And at the head of the main seat, sitting, a handsome man in white clothes, this man, how to say, looking horizontally, vertically and sideways, gives people the first impression that is attractive. Yes, it's attractive, there's a special charm about him that makes you want to get closer. It's impossible to tell how old he is, but it seems okay to say he's in his twenties, and it's okay to say he's in his thirties.
It's just that Lin Aoxue always feels that this person is a little familiar in his eyebrows, who is it, but she can't think of it for a while, and she can't guess the identity of this person. However, intuition told Lin Haoxue that this person was the most unfathomable and vigilant person in the entire He family's hospitality hall. And his strength seems to be even stronger than that Katsuda.
"When did you come back?" The first to speak out was not Xiao Zhenren, nor Lin Haoxue, but Wukong City, who was walking behind Lin Haoxue, he seemed to be surprised, and walked forward a few steps quickly, facing the handsome man in white clothes on the main seat, and asked with a little bit of confusion.
"I came back a few days ago, and I haven't had time to visit Brother Wu, I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and Brother Wu's demeanor is still the same. The man in white had already stepped out of his seat, originally as if he wanted to greet Xiao Zhenren, but at this time, he stopped at Wukong City, stopped and said with a smile.
"I, where can I compare to Brother He's demeanor, back then, I couldn't compare to the two of you, and now I am naturally even more ......" Wukong Cheng also smiled, but this smile, how bitter it looked, he remembered the threesome back then, more than ten years ago he couldn't compare to the two of them, and now, it can't be compared.
Lin Haoxue stood with her head bowed and was silent, but she could take all the conversations of the person in Wukong City into her ears, Brother Wu, Brother He, thinking of what Wukong City told her about her father, and then looking at their familiar appearances now, as well as their names, why don't you understand the identity of the personable man in white in front of her?
The identity of this person should be He Guanying, the head of the He family who has not appeared for many years, however, in the past ten years, the entire Wuhuan Empire has been spreading, and it is said that He Guanying has been in retreat for more than ten years in order to break through the Xuan Xian, and now it seems that where he is in retreat for more than ten years, but has left the Wuhuan Empire for more than ten years, as for why he left, what he left to do, and what he tried his best, Lin Haoxue couldn't guess for a while, but she was not in a hurry, I believe that the answer will be revealed soon.
"Xiao Zhenren, just a family banquet, it's actually bothering you, He Mou really can't go!" After a simple greeting with Wukong City, He Guanying immediately turned his attention to Xiao Zhenren, with a very polite and respectful attitude.
"The head of the He family is serious, where can you talk about anything that is not tiring, besides, you are looking for her on purpose, don't you just want to bother me?" Xiao Zhenren replied, his language seemed a little unpolite, a little annoyed.
The masters present all showed a look of understanding, no matter what, at this moment, he is Lin Haoxue's guardian, and he seems to be more like Lin Haoxue's grandfather Lin Geng's grandfather. After he said this, he didn't pay attention to He Guanying, but walked straight to the first seat of the guest seat and sat down, where was originally the place where July was sitting, but now that July let him sit down, naturally no one will say anything, and July and Xiao Qing are both sitting under Xiao Zhenren.
He Guanying didn't care about Xiao Zhenren's vague unkindness, he just smiled, his eyes swept over Lin Haoxue intentionally or unintentionally, and he quickly retracted it, and didn't say anything to her, but returned to the main seat and sat down.
At the same time, Lin Haoxue and Wukong City also found their own places to sit down, Wukong City's position was very close to Xiao Zhenren, and Lin Haoxue was still sitting near her grandfather Lin Geng, like a very ordinary granddaughter, very well-behaved and obedient, and kept her head down, but no one knew what she was thinking about.
After sitting down, she could clearly feel that most of the people around her were looking at her openly or secretly, and the eyes fell on her, she was already sensitive, so it was difficult to pretend not to see, even if she didn't have to look up, she could feel the content of those eyes, some were jealous, some were sympathetic, some were watching the play, some were curious, and there were some indescribable and complicated eyes.
"Everyone, please!" The last dish was ready, and He Guanying first raised his chopsticks and made a gesture of please. Everybody's moving.
The dishes on the table are just right, they are all rare high-grade spirit animal meat, Lin Haoxue lowered her head, also picked up chopsticks, picked up a piece of spirit animal meat without a trace, put it in her mouth, and chewed it slowly, I have to say that the chef's skills are very good, these dishes are cooked just right, not only full of mystical power, but also delicious taste.
At this time, except for the two neighbors who whispered to exchange dishes, no one spoke much, and everything seemed to be calm, but Lin Haoxue knew that this was just the calm before the storm, maybe the next moment, the storm would roll up, and he would be the center of the storm, but so what?
"Uncle Lin, time flies so fast, Haoxue has grown so big. After three rounds of wine, the food has been eaten to the end, He Guanying's eyes probed Lin Haoxue's body a few times, and finally, said to Lin Geng. Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on Lin Geng and Lin Haoxue, if someone looked carefully, they would find that the deep meaning of that gaze was actually excitement.
Lin Haoxue said secretly in her heart, she put down her chopsticks, slowly took out a handkerchief, wiped her mouth and hands, and then reached out and grabbed her grandfather Lin Geng's hand.
Lin Geng has been gloomy and does not speak, ignoring He Guanying's words, he is very angry, no matter how good the relationship between He Guanying and his son Lin Xingwen used to be, but now, He Guanying annoys him. He Guanying suddenly asked people to come and take them away like this today, which was very rude, and it also frightened them, although after coming here, He Guanying apologized to them, but he was still very angry. Therefore, he pretended not to hear He Guanying's questioning.
What will the master do if he doesn't give face to the master like this? Everyone's eyes turned to He Guanying again.
He Guanying, who has always been personable, charming and powerful, and the head of the family are deflated today, and they have been treated unceremoniously by Xiao Zhenren and Lin Geng, Xiao Zhenren is there because of his strength and identity, so no one will say anything, but what about Lin Geng, he has no big background, how will the head of the He family deal with it, people are very curious.
However, He Guanying didn't get angry at Lin Geng's rudeness, he didn't seem to take it to heart, he just paused, and then looked at Lin Haoxue's body again, and began to reminisce about the past, "Seeing Haoxue, I remembered the days when I traveled abroad with Xingwen and Your Majesty, at that time, Xingwen's strength was the strongest, and every time he had to come forward to rescue His Majesty and me who were trapped." ”
As he spoke, He Guanying smiled, but the people present were stunned, they didn't know what He Guanying meant by saying this, reminiscing about the past, it should be talked about in a private occasion, now, although this is in the He family, but, with so many people, this is a public place. Besides, even if you really reminisce about the past, it should be with Wukong City, Lin Geng is already an elder, so it's unreasonable. But thinking about it, no one interjected, people just listened quietly, and they knew that next, He Guanying himself would explain everything clearly.
And Lin Haoxue held her grandfather Lin Geng's hand tightly and comforted her grandfather, telling him not to be nervous and not to worry. Lin Haoxue can feel that He Guanying's next words should have something to do with her father, more precisely, with her, she can think of this, she believes that her grandfather Lin Geng can also think of it, and she doesn't want him to worry.
"Later, we got married, and it became less and less to go out together, and now, I still clearly remember that the last time I saw my younger siblings, my younger siblings were still pregnant with Haoxue?" He Guanying looked at Lin Haoxue very gently, that kind of gentleness made Lin Haoxue feel numb in her heart, and the sense of foreboding became stronger and stronger, this guy really came at himself, sure enough, He Guanying's next words proved Lin Haoxue's thoughts at the moment. "At that time, Yun'er was only four years old, and she was very curious about the baby that her younger brother and sister were carrying, so Xingwen and I both laughed, and there was an agreement on the spot, in the future, if the younger brother and sister were to be a daughter, they would be allowed to be Yun'er's wife, and Yun'er was only happy at that time. ”
He Guanying said these words with a smile, but many people don't understand, what does He Guanying mean by this, the marriage contract between the Lin family and the He family used to attract attention because the status of the two families was too different, and later it was more concerned because of the divorce turmoil, but all this has been completely over after the end of the Xuanxian ceremony, what is the reason why He Guanying is proposing this matter now?
Is it because you want to bring up the old thing again?
